Sources are all connected to the subject or are not significant coverage – fails GNG. The previous AFD mentioned some offline sources, but they are not accessible for verification and the descriptions of these do not seem substantive (e.g. among brief quotes from art dealers, not biographical coverage). He is now appearing on a reality show but this would not be a basis for notability (though this could be redirected there should an article for the season be created).

It looks like he was already discussed in a deletion discussion a couple years ago and the result was keep. It looks like he recently participated in the Netflix reality dating show "Love is Blind" (Season 7). It looks like a pretty big show and I see a number of articles written recently about him and his business from the show (it looks like he had a pretty negative image on the show). Seems to me like it would be an odd time to delete this page since there are now more sources than ever on him. And probably more coming out since this all seems to be unfolding in real time. Maybe a better approach is to add sources about his Love is Blind stint. And maybe update his title to "Art Dealer & Reality Show Contestant" if possible. All of this seems to be unfolding in real time so my opinion is to wait a bit and see if any additional coverage comes out in the coming months. 20thCenturyArtEnthusiast (talk) 04:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reality show participants are rarely notable. Routine coverage of episodes and the contestants do not establish notability, even though there is plenty of tabloid media about them. Not a single other Love is Blind participant has an article, even as all of them also have "more sources than ever". Love Is Blind season 7 is a good redirect target assuming the page is made. There should be substantive coverage unconnected to this appearance to justify keeping this. Reywas92Talk 13:44, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that Leo was generally accepted as notable before his reality show stint, I'm just saying if he was accepted as notable before, it might be prudent to wait a bit and see if any other articles come out about him considering the reality show stint. It would be one thing if this page were created after Love is Blind Season 7 came out, but it's been on Wikipedia for a few years prior. 20thCenturyArtEnthusiast (talk) 21:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
